I think once Mamdani is formally the winner of this race people will be more willing to admit it, but the truth is that the real issue isn't the lack of endorsement from Schumer and Jeffries, it's that Schumers, Jeffries, and everyone else has made racially charged unfulfillable demands of Mamdani.
I do think however it is also simultaneously true that Mamdani has managed to acquire the support of the bulk of the Democratic establishment. This was done in spite of, though, the endemic Islamophobia and racial animosity towards nonwhite politicians sympathetic to Palestinians.

When we say “everyone should mask” we don’t actually expect people will. We know how selfish people are. But we say it because:
1) it’s factually true
2) if even a few people listen to us that’s a few more lives saved and, as the Talmud says, every life is a universe.
